(HHI), the world’s biggest shipbuilder and a marine engine manufacturer, has independently developed the HHI Gas Management System for re-liquefying boil off gas (BOG) from a membrane LNG containment tank to use it as fuel for LNG carriers. According to MAN, various factors determine the rate of the boil-off gas evaporation.
